Once the food has set so that it’s hard on the outside, wrap and label the food item, as you normally would, and place back int he freezer.

I always put berries, produce, and small individually sized items like muffins in freezer zip bags. I wrap larger items like cakes and pies in foil, then again in plastic wrap to keep out the freezer burn.

Will flash freezing keep my produce from being soggy when thawed out? I’ve regular frozen zucchini,bananas and bell pepper before. but they were all mushy after thawed :( It made me sad. None of the items were pre-cooked.

So many great tips! I am definitely looking forward to trying some of these ideas. I don’t have too many tips to share, but if anyone has any extra tomatoes this time of year :) I have a post with step by step photos of preparing tomatoes for freezing. If you don’t mind me sharing, here is a link: babybirdsfarm.com/tomato-time-putting-up-for-the-winter

Almost anything. Think about what is in the freezer case at the market. I currently have French toast I made from cinnamon raisin bread, thick slices of rare roast beef, two inch thick slices ofuncooked pork tenderloin as well as fillet mignon ( both cheaper when purchased whole and cut to varying sizes), garlic bread waiting to be broiled, homemade breakfast sausage patties, pancakes and waffles I make about once every six weeks. When you are cooking or shopping just ask yourself, “should I cook/buy enough to flash freeze extra for easy prep later on? ” Once you start doing it it will just become a habit.

I did this during June when I got a great deal on blueberries. My three year old loves them and eats her weight in blueberries, so it’s nice to use them as a little frozen treat or to throw them (still frozen) on top of some yogurt or cereal, or stick a handful into a smoothie.

I do this all the time! I can’t stand to waste food, and this is a great technique to save perfectly wonderful food for a later time. I love being able to pull something homemade out of the freezer when I’m pressed for time!

Flash freezing is a life-saver! I keep a regular supply of egg rolls and meatballs on hand by flash freezing them and then storing them in a freezer bag. They really add a lot to stir-fry and pasta nights!
